Belkyra®
How Does it Work?
When injected under the chin in multiple sites, it bursts fat cells around the injection site, leading to a permanent reduction. Fat released from the fat cells is then absorbed by the body’s healing processes.
Belkyra® is a medication available only through prescription, and should be administered exclusively by physicians trained in its use. While Belkyra® does not impose any restrictions on your daily activities, post-treatment swelling is expected, making it advisable to avoid an immediate return to work. Your double chin may swell to roughly twice its size for several days, with swelling potentially lasting up to two weeks. This inflammation is a critical component of the treatment’s success, indicating that your body is effectively eliminating disrupted fat cells.
Unlike Botox® or fillers, Belkyra® does not require repeated sessions. Once you complete the prescribed treatment regimen, there is no need for further treatments, as the fat cells targeted by Belkyra® do not regenerate.

How Many Treatments Are Needed?
Many individuals achieve desired improvements in their chin profile after 2-4 sessions of Belkyra® treatment. These are typically spaced around eight weeks apart, with a maximum of six sessions recommended. The fat-dissolving process is gradual rather than immediate, so patience is required to see results.
Once the desired outcome is achieved, further treatment is usually unnecessary, as results are long-lasting because the fat cells don’t grow back.
How Long Does Each Treatment Take?
What is Expected Following the Treatment?
When planning Belkyra® treatment, keep in mind that it often results in notable swelling beneath the chin and the upper neck for 2-4 weeks. This specific treatment typically causes temporary fullness before improvement is noticeable.
